Champagne taste on a beer budget?
In an effort to offer antiques at all budgets and price points - My next stock drop consists of all vintage and antique pieces in gold fill. Great to wear when traveling and make excellent gifts! At a fraction of the price of solid gold.
All are being sold as is, in pre-owned condition with signs of age and wear. No returns or exchanges so please note the details carefully before purchase. I am just trying to match them with loving homes, for the love of antiques and gold fill since I started out my career dealing in these.
Additional items shown in group photos will be listed separately in the shop and are shown for scale and color comparison.
We begin with:
Please note the measurements, please note the measurements, please please please please please note the measurements (sung to the cheerful children's melody "Super Simple Songs" with my 4 year old niece ; ).
The lengths and weights are in the title.
ABOUT:
This one has beads that graduate in size becoming larger in the middle.
No major dings or dents but a warmer patina towards the back where there is more wear to the smaller beads. This covers about 4 inches of the back, where some of the smaller beads have deeper scratches to the underlying brass, whereas the larger beads and entire front have no such wear and just a lovely bloomed patina from gradual wear over time. Even the warmer colored beads still have a pretty patina, but some darker lines to it from the deeper wear. Still very wearable.
Note that there are gaps to many of these chains which is intentional to allow the beads to move. If strung too tightly they don't drape properly. The gaps vary from piece to piece so please look for that in photos. It is usually worn at the back so that the front allows the beads to lie nicely.
Antique boxes, props, extras, etc are not included. Listing is for the one piece shown in the cover photo. Please note the measurements as I have small hands and it can be difficult to determine scale from pics. We lovelies all come in wonderfully unique shapes and sizes : ) - some of these are short chains.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Surface wear. These often need an occasional re-polish after sitting in the jewelry box for a long time (at least compared to high carat solid gold).
They are all still wearable. Sold as is.
Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
